WASHINGTON, D.C. (CDC/WETM-TV) – There is a major food safety alert Wednesday night concerning certain onions. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a salmonella outbreak has been linked to onions imported from Chihuahua, Mexico, and distributed by ProSource Inc.
The CDC said the fresh whole red, white, and yellow onions were sold to restaurants and grocery stores throughout the United States. The onions were last imported on August 27, but according to the CDC, these imported onions can last up to three months in storage and may still be in homes and businesses.
